5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent pocket companion, 2 Jun 2004
By A Customer
Brilliant! Since I bought The Physiotherapist's Pocket Book I have referred to it often. Although it has proved invaluable in my day-to-day work in an outpatients department, it has really come into its own during my respiratory on-calls and weekends. Just knowing that I can check normal values, contraindications, drugs and pathologies makes me feel a lot calmer when I am being called out at two o'clock in the morning!
In the short time I have had it, I have used this book extensively and it has answered almost all my questions. I would readily recommend it to all physiotherapist - though I think juniors and student physiotherapists, particularly, will find it indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for students & therapists/assistants, 30 Nov 2005
This book has been the best buy in my student life so far. Very easy to use and just enough detail. I know many qualified therapists who still keep a copy close to hand.

The book includes overviews of the main areas of Physio; Musculoskeletal, Neurology, Respiratory and also includes a Pharmacology section. It is an excellent quick reference guide and has easy to follow diagrams and charts. It outlines the basic information and principles and is structured and presented well. It has comprehensive musculoskeletal & neurological anatomy, tests and descriptions of common pathologies. It includes relevant informative data and contraindications to treatment. The pharmacology section includes an A - Z drugs list with descriptions. Medical abbreviations, electrotherapy precautions, conversion tables and Adult & Paediatric basic life support are also included. The book provides excellent references and further reading pointers for more detailed information.

The only negative thing I have to raise is that the book is light blue and black text. The book is purely a reference point and anyone wishing to study from it may be grateful of a colour copy. Don't let this put you off as it is an excellent book.

I would recommend this book to anyone studying Physiotherapy or working in the Physio field as it has the right amount of detail and is worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars 'facts at your fingertips', 2 Dec 2004
By A Customer
This book is a very useful resource for physiotherapists and provides a great deal of information that is easily accessible. It's compact size means that the book can be carried around on the ward and provides information at your fingertips. The book is very well illustrated and it is clearly divided into sub-sections. I can't believe that this won't become an essential textbook for juniors and students.
